15 See; I have this day set before thee, life and good, death and evil. 16 For I command thee this day to love the Lord thy GOD, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his ordinances and his judgements: that thou mayest live and increase, and that the Lord thy GOD may bless thee in the Land which thou goest to possess. 17 If thy heart turn away, and thou obey not, but beest led aside, and bowest thy self to other gods, and servest them: 18 I do tell you this day, that you shall surely perish, and not prolong your days in the land, into the which now passing over Jordan thou goest to possess it. 19 I take heaven and earth this day to witness against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed, ⟨p. 1066⟩20 By loving the Lord thy GOD, by obeying his voice, and by cleaving unto him: for he is thy life and the prolonger of thy days: that thou mayest continue in the Land which the Lord hath sworn to thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them.
